Say Hello to My Little Friend, PERSEVERANCE!

So I went to the eye doctor this week to change my prescription for my contacts. I haven't been there in over a year, and I could tell my eyesight was getting worse, but HOLY COW, when you get a new prescription, it's incredible!!

Yes, Miranda and Claire (and Kiana), this David Tennant gif is for you :)

For those of you who cannot experience this, I congratulate you on your stellar eyesight, but IT'S SO AWESOME WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD UPGRADES TO HD. Seriously, it's a monumental moment in life!

Welllll, onto the other events of this past week!

I sent my first international letter to Elder Gibby! Since he doesn't have an address, I just sent it to the mission home, and hopefully he'll get it soon! 
(PS Gina, I'm finally sending that kitty bookmark with it too!!)

And it turns out all my dumb moping on my last post was for nothing, because later last Monday night I ended up getting an e-mail from Elder Gibby! Ohh, silly Chanel. He never fails me, does he? I should already know that :P

Elder Gibby told me Skyping with his family yesterday for Mother's Day was great!! I'm so glad. He said that his kitty, Snowball, started crying when she saw him on the computer screen! How sad!!! :( She must miss him so much!! I'm jealous. My sister's dog didn't even recognize my voice when I Skyped with my sister while I was away at school! And I've known him for two years! How rude! But I guess that's why his name is Rudy... hahaha. Here's a picture of him:

Aww just look at the cute Roo Man! SO CAH-YOOOOT! I just wanna SQUEEZE him! :)

Okay, that was a bit of a tangent... Back to Elder Gibby!

I guess he's been getting pressure to drop me because people are saying that I'm gonna break it off. He says he knows I won't, but that it gets annoying. 

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?!? I will personally fly down to Oaxaca and give them some choice words! Or maybe they'll just happen to walk into their house and discover something like this...

I'm just kidding!! That'd be a super awful thing to do! I'd feel terrible! And I'm way too much of a coward to do that anyway. Maybe a strongly-worded e-mail will do...? Hahah kiiiidding :)

I get where the people who say that are coming from. There's a lot of instances in these situations that a girl who's waiting for a missionary just ups and ditches him for another guy. But I'm sure they have their reasons, and I know some girls who have had really legit reasons! Anyway, one of those reasons is probably that the amazing Elder Gibby isn't their missionary ;)
Anyway, don't doubt me! I'm not one of those girls!

Which reminds me, "You Don't Know Me" by Ben Folds is a catchy song!

Make sure the version you listen to cuts out the one bad word though ;)

I know I can finish this race (well, more like marathon) to the end of 1000 days, no matter what! And I'll get first place to boot :) (Figuratively speaking, of course. I suck at running.).
It makes me sad that they're trying to discourage him like that... I'm sure they're just looking out for him though. So I really appreciate that and I'm glad they'll do that for him! They should just know that there is no way in heck that I'm giving up!! :)

826 Days Left! :)
